Class will meet on Wednesdays from 7-9 at Filter Digital. Due to the restrictions of Meetup's registration, we can't schedule multi-day events, so keep in mind that this Meetup event serves as registration and payment for the entire course.

It gives developers a greater degree of control over web pages for creating interactive interfaces and dynamic content. In this class we will provide you with some of the basics of programming, using JavaScript to manipulate websites and how the basics needed to start on the path of becoming a great web developer.
